Hey, you even keep all of your clamps, neatly organized in their own wall rack. Nothing wrong with that, just had to admire the neatness of the whole place. Good for you, building what you want and sharing it with us. Now, keep us posted on the progress, as I look forward to seeing a one-of-a-kind special teardrop once it is finished and on the road.

This is not my space. I am 'The last woodworking teacher on the planet" lol. I will definitely post pictures as I get more done. It is slow going because I only have about 3 to 4 hours a week to work on it.

Welcome to the Forum jgerqano and a nice start on the build... :thumbsup:

The warped look to the spars is probably due to the closeness of the camera, which can create a warped pic (Fish eye effect) due to lens curvature... The build looks good... :thumbsup:

Where are you located anyway, I am in Minnesota... Welcome again and good luck with the build... :applause:
Happy Camping & Building,
John (JC)
